On Saturday night at the Sydney Cricket Ground, New Zealand will play Australia in the opening match of the Super 12 round of the 2022 T20 World Cup. This match is a repeat of the 2021 T20 World Cup final, which Australia won by an eight-wicket margin with seven balls remaining against New Zealand. 8:00 local time marks the start of the game.
Australia unexpectedly won the 2021 T20 World Cup, but it demonstrated that they have players who can compete with anyone. They will be confident going into this match because they have the same team for this competition.
New Zealand is a great squad in all competitions; however, they have trouble playing Australia. They will give Australia a very difficult game because of their extremely talented hitters and bowlers.

AUS vs NZ Match Toss Prediction
